The Old Town Hall stands in the middle of Toruń's Old Town Market Square: a Gothic brick building raised around a courtyard in the 13th and 14th centuries and rebuilt in the 17th and 18th. It is the main seat of the District Museum, with 14th-century stained glass, Polish painting and a portrait of Copernicus; its 40-metre tower has a viewing terrace.
The Copernicus House is a pair of Gothic merchant houses at 15–17 Kopernika Street, owned by the Copernicus family in the second half of the 15th century and regarded as the astronomer's birthplace in 1473. A branch of the District Museum in Toruń, it shows the life of a burgher family and Copernicus's life and work, with a 3D cinema.
The Living Museum of Gingerbread is a private hands-on museum opened in 2006 in an 1860s granary on Rabiańska Street. In guided shows of about 75 minutes, staff in costume explain how Toruń gingerbread was made; visitors mix the dough, bake it in wooden moulds and decorate it in a reconstructed early 20th-century workshop.
